‘taken, was included in the group of 
tures shown by him at the Paris Expo- 
faicon ¢ of 1900, ft is full of spirit and brings 
to one’s imagination a vivid realization 
of such a scene, in which peasants are hur- — 
rying up with improvised water supply 
ta. eek the flames and prevent t 
re ing to the other ricks. There is 
© example by Daubigny, “The 
i acai d,” the trees with reddening 
amid the branches of dark foliage 
‘forming a handsome foreground to a twi- 
light sky, fet al on the horizon and pale 
x overhead At scarcely has the inti- 
Mate feeling of later and smaller canvases; 


of ES eee golden-brown folia 8 
g in the glow of sunset, wh: 


‘the foreground is in shadow with gray 


boulders showing Mp amid the luxuriance 
of the dark ferns, It is a stirring picture, 
full of a rich resonance cf color, applied, 
as it were, in ample, massive chords. 

Of two Corots one may specially note “On 
‘the Terrace;” with its graceful entangle- 
gh of tree stems surmounted by a canopy 
‘of dark foliage, beneath which is a figure 
ona stone bench, witha pumeerHon beyond 
lof water lit by evening lhght. It has a 
petty melodiousness of Leiria, 4 a lovely 
réestfulness of low-toned colors; By Millet is 
‘a study of his wife reading and that curious 
‘picture, “The Listening Stag,” sometimes 
| oalled the “Old Wall.” Of three examples 
i by ena Michel the “End of the Storm” 
is particularly memorable for its tragio in- 
! tensity of eeling, while “Sunshine and 
| Clouds,” a picture of mellower tones, is a 
' fine specimen of his purer coloring and of 
his splendid realization of ground forms, 

A picture that will delight all lovers of 
pen s elegant art is “Crossing the 
' Ford,” a picturesque scene viewed through 
the graceful romanticism of his tempera- 
_ment; delicately skilful in its atmospheria

A large number of people gathered in > 
the grand ballroom of the Waldorf-Astoria 
to witness the sale of Samuel P.. Avery 
Jr’s pictures last evening, a sale that | 
practically ends the career of an art house 
whose name has been 4 part of the art i 
history of New York for. the past forty . 
years, under Samuel P, Avery and his son | 
and successor, for Mr. Avery, JY., retires | 
from business on April, . 

The sale was conducted by James Ps} 
Silo. Some paintittgs belonging to dite | 
ferent owners were added to Mr. Avery's) 
list, three paintitigs were withdrawn from. 
the catalogue as published, and the sixty- 
nine pictures sol fetched $63,075. It was. 

a dealer’s stock and a dealer’s sale, and, 
sthe bidders were slow with their offerings , 


it was a hard pull to get a eissonier | 
up by $5 bids from $400 to $500, and & little. 
easier to get it along up to the selling price. 
of $600. Millet’s “Woman Reading” dragged | 
similarly all the way from $100 to $620.. 
The first liberal initial bid was $500 for the. 
same painter's “Listening Stag.” 

The liveliest bidding of the evening was 
for Knaus’s “Coquette,” which appeared | 
to be wanted by several rsons. The 
Sharpless portrait of Washington ‘was.

“This is an original Portrait of General Washington, taken in 
1797. It was painted by Mr. Sharpless. It is an exact likeness, except 
the complexion. General Washington was very fair, with light 
brown, almost auburn hair. . he had artificial teeth, but so well 
fixed that they did not disfig ure his mouth, 

His hair was thin, craped and dressed with powder and pomatum 


as this profile.” 
(signed) Eliza P. Custis. 
The original letter, as above, goes with core portrait. 
The above mentioned por trait was inherited by me, from my 
grandmother. Eliza Parke Custis. 
(signed) Eleanor A. Goldsborough 
née Rogers. 
There are one hundred and thirty four pastels, by this artist in 
Independence Hall, Philadelphia.

THE LISTENING STAG ~ 
233% x 19% 


From the Sensier collection, Paris,and Fop-Smith collection, 
Rotterdam, 


A Stag standing by the crumbling stones of the old wall which 
once formed the boundary of the forest, and looking out with startled 
eyes and ears erect at the unknown country before him. The dark 

shadows of the forest were finely contrasted with the brilliant light 
Nae the open plain and the rich hues of the old stones with their ferns 
and grasses and creeping lizards. This poetic picture, sometimes 
described as the Listening Stag, sometimes as the Old Wall, was 
eventually bought by Sensier and sold by him in 1877. 


BARBIZON, Dec. 3, 1862. 
My DEAR SENSIER: 

I start to-morrow, Thursday morning, for Paris. I shall bring 
my Old Wall, which I hope will meet with the approval of M. Blanc 
and his clients.
